TN lays a dud! Probably not going to hurt them but may lose a possible #1 seed.
Ouch! They'll definitely lose that #1 seed.
Heck, Carolina wound up 4th & UT 5th in the final poll if not mistaken + Carolina beat them in a head to head.
I feel pretty confident that if UNC wins the ACC Tourney , they'll be a #1 seed.
Long as 1 or 2 I really don't care.

I'm with you Paul and they probably only need to win 1 game to get it done.

Wow what a game ! Illini over OSU leading only ten minutes of the game , coming back 77-74 . Truly a battle to make semifinal. Great team effort from a very tough OSU team after firing their coach during the season . Hawkins and Dainja added to big night again by Shannon . Great team effort and bench came through . Whew ! Dan

Congratulations Dan!
We had a very tough Pitt team. They came ready to rumble!
Much respect for the Panthers
We pulled it out 72-65

Wow.....looks like turning the ball over was what killed yall
Yall actually shot better than they did....
But, I understand...Texas A&M will probably never play that good again! It's crazy how that happens sometimes
Oh well, the Big Dance is what matters - yall should get a pretty good seed.

Looks like the dreaded case of team converting on turnovers . Illinois has had a big problem with turnovers overs this year that has cost them games in same scenario. Better or equal stats as opposing team yesterday lose because of higher turnovers . Yesterday for us we hardly attempted a 3 pointer by anybody the whole game . Nebraska is the real deal today very improved team . If they get their outside shooting going we are in big trouble. Dan

We've got State in the Championship game tonight at 830
Looked as if we were gonna have UVa. But, a kid from State nailed a beauty of a buzzer beater from 3 point range to send it to overtime last night. That naturally gave State the momentum to win.
I'm not too worried about State. I feel we can handle State a lot easier than Uva. We shall see I reckon.

Was checking out the SEC & Auburn is the only remaining ranked team in that Tourney
Florida hung 102 on Alabama & Mississippi State is in the Final Four of the SEC tourney.
Just one of those crazy years for the SEC Tourney it looks like!

I chose to think we just needed the rest and that it will be better for us next week.

Yeah, that's it.

I have to,agree with you guys . These conference tournaments cause a lot of wear and tear on teams . I think we have a chance today , Wisconsin has been surging before tournament so this is not going to be a walk in the park. Beginning of season they were 8-1 and then went through a rough spot .

I hear ya, Larry & Dan. I told my wife that maybe that loss was a good thing? Lol, I dunno- if you can't shoot /score - you won't win.
Like I told Larry, we couldn't hit a bull in the butt last night & State played outta their minds the whole Tourney- really quite remarkable- that was States 5th straight game last night..
